I unveiled my newest MOC at last weekend's MichTLC GATS layout, the Kalamazoo
County Courthouse.  It is based on a now demolished 1880s building that once
stood on Bronson Park in downtown Kzoo.

My main Brickshelf gallery isn't moderated just yet but I have plenty of other
pictures of it both on the website and in my GATS gallery which is linked from
the website.

Anyho enjoy and LMKWYT!!!

(...) it justice! We're lucky as a club to be graced with so many great town builders, who egg each other on quite nicely, and this building raised the internal bar for the club a "bit", yes, yes, yes it did. (21 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.town)

Saw this at the show, very nice! Seeing the photo of the original, I now realize how spot-on it is. The detailing is really great. -Stefan--"still sorting though his TRU raiding prizes"-G. (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.town)

The building looks great. I really like the use of the Grey figure from Harry Potter on the top of the tower. The overall detail is fantastic. You have really caught the look of the building and brought it to life. Great Job!! Can't wait to see what (...) (21 years ago, 1-Feb-03, to lugnet.town)
